MY NEW BIG IDEA! WILL YOU JOIN ME?

March 2021 update

You guys know that I love a big idea!

You know that I love to share them with all that want to hear! So for 2021 my idea is clear.

Throughout the last few years our Aussie farmers have battled drought, fires, floods and now a global pandemic.

Throughout it all with smiles on their faces, when there should have been tears, they set about providing us with fuel for our bodies.

So they definitely have a story to tell.

Each Rural town I have visited, I’ve seen just how important the Local post office is. It is sometimes the only shop in town, it may be the local corner store too. So lets keep them busy! Lets bring back old fashioned Penpals… or in my words – Mail Mates!

We can bridge the gap between the beaches and the bush. We can get people talking. We can share our daily experiences and connect and grow together..

Through it we will learn how to correctly address an envelope, write a letter and post it. So lets get writing!

When the world paused due to the recent lockdown it didn’t put a stop to the creativity and resilience of children.

Now, to celebrate the endless imagination and unique ingenuity that kids possess, the LEGO Group has unveiled an awe-inspiring installation – a 13ft globe – which showcases a build created by Jack Berne, Founder of A Fiver for A Farmer.
